The baby should be placed nude under the lights. The newborn should be repositioned frequently to expose all body surfaces to the lights. The newborn's eyelids must be closed before the patches are applied because the corneas may become excoriated if in contact with the dressing. The eye patches should be removed during feedings and other caregiving activities so the newborn can have visual and sensory stimulation.
